Education Advocacy

Let's help your child find school success today!

Education Advocacy

Working with an advocate can help you find the confidence and strength to ask for what you already know your child needs.

Your advocate is not here to be your voice, just to help you find and refine your voice.

Meg uses her years of experience as a licensed K-12 special education teacher plus her knowledge as a parent to help busy families ask for what their child needs most in school.

I can’t say enough about Meg!! We moved in late Jan and our daughter was having some issues in school.
A fellow friend told me about Meg and I immediately contacted her.
She has helped us SO much.
My daughter is on grade level for reading and has improved greatly in math. All around just her enjoyment of school has improved.

Most importantly she treats our kids like she would her own.
Her passion is beyond apparent for the kids she works so hard for.

Jessica M.Advocacy Client

Your expertise and advice has made all the difference – it gave me the format to push back with and the confidence to keep pestering them when they insisted I just wanted my kid to be “special.”

Kristen S.Advocacy Client

Meg was great about answering my questions and put my mind to ease! Thank you!

Crystal C.

When looking for an advocate it was very important to me that I found someone to fight for my child as I was, had great communication skills and the ability to get results quickly. I got this and so much more with Meg. She not only got the results quickly, but also taught me as a parent how to communicate better with the school. Which has made things in other areas so much easier. She’s wonderful at this and it’s obvious this is more than a job to her, it’s her passion.

IEP Meetings

It’s easy to get overwhelmed and confused at IEP meetings. So much jargon and so many data points! Before you sign something you don’t understand, consult with Meg to help you navigate the finer points of the IEP.

Special Education Advocacy: IEPs

Data Review: Meg can go over your child's test results, grades, and work samples with a fine tooth comb. She'll provide a detailed report of her professional opinion. Sample IEPs available upon request.

Meeting Prep: Work with Meg to get ready for your next IEP meeting. Create a meeting script, practice what to say, and organize your data together.

Meeting Support: Meg can be right by your side, in person or virtually, for your next IEP meeting. Let her provide your strength and support on a difficult journey.

504 Plan Advocacy

504 Plans can be overlooked and undervalued, but they are so important to help students succeed at school. Don’t let the school bully you into agreeing to a plan that doesn’t make sense. Or drop the ball on the accommodations your child needs.

Special Education Advocacy: 504 Plans

Data Review: Make sure your child is getting the right accommodations when Meg reviews test scores, the current plan, and class work.

Meeting Prep: Get set for your next meeting with personal advice that will help you stand strong for your child.

Meeting Support: Don't go it alone, bring Meg with you! Whether in person or virtually, Meg will be right there to provide the support and guidance you need to get the best results for your child.

Allergy Support: Help your school understand your child's severe or life-threatening allergies with common sense accommodations. Meg's dairy allergy gives her special insights!

Gifted Education Advocacy

Gifted children are in a tough spot: not federally recognized, but with tons of academic needs that need support. Help your school understand your gifted or high achieving child when you work with Meg. She’ll explain your child’s needs and provide opportunities for the school to add academic challenges.
